LAKE ODESSA, Mich. - Aug. 21. Brian Ruhlman picked up his second straight win in August and his third on the season
with the Sunoco American Late Model Series (ALMS) at I-96 Speedway.

Ruhlman, of Clarklake, Mich., got a little help from early leader Jeep Van Wormer, whose high-flying driving
style yielded a brief slip off the track's top side, giving Ruhlman the opening he needed to grab a lead he would
not relinquish. Canadian driver Andrew Reaume made his own impression on the tour when he drove by Van
Wormer and held down second at the finish.

With Ruhlman grabbing the win over Reaume and Van Wormer and thus bolstering his point lead on the regional
tour, veteran Kris Patterson and Devin Shiels also captured top five finishes. Ruhlman got another boost to his
points position when second in points Rusty Schlenk suffered a disappointing non-finish near the rear of
the finishing order after an early altercation with another car.

Rusty Schlenk lost ground to leader Brian Ruhlman in points with an early race-ending tangle
with another car.
